Chapter 42 He's Retiring

I took a long breath and said slowly: "I remember it was a hot summer. I went to Teacher Liu to get review materials under the scorching sun..."

"Tell me the point!" The senior sister interrupted me with an unhappy look on her face.

I subconsciously glanced at Lao Liu and found that his expression had not changed. I said, "Because the weather was too hot, I carried half a piece of watermelon and wanted to eat it with Teacher Liu. Then he said he wouldn't eat it. At that time, I was afraid of him. It was not good to waste it in front of him, so I sacrificed my life to eat all the half... Well, although it was very full, it was not wasted at least. It was probably like that."

The teacher's wife laughed constantly when she heard this and said, "Hahaha, your teacher came back and talked about this in front of me many times, saying that she had never seen a honest student like you..."

I looked around and found that my senior sister and Nie Xinyan were also smiling, but Lao Liu had a stern face, but the smile at the corners of his eyes could not be covered up. I felt relieved. Lao Liu wouldn't mind. But when I thought of the watermelon matter that he could think about for so long, I suddenly felt a terrified feeling. If he put on my little shoes, I would really be gone.

Old Liu may have seen my concerns and said angrily: "Don't worry, as long as you meet the standards, I will never get stuck."

With Lao Liu's words in mind, I finally felt relieved and smiled at Lao Liu.

...

After dinner, several people sat on the sofa and chatted casually. All kinds of childhood embarrassing things were used as topics of conversation at this moment. Everyone's face was filled with a leisurely smile, except for Lao Liu.

There was a faint silence on Lao Liu's face, and his eyes were wandering between us outside the window. I could actually feel a hint of twilight in his body.

"Yun Wuxiu, how long can you stay in school?" Old Liu's sudden question caught me off guard and looked at him in a daze.

Nie Xinyan was also a little surprised. After all, we are all talking about more pleasant topics at this moment. Suddenly, we are talking about graduation, which makes us all silent. For those of us who are about to graduate, this topic will indeed make people feel heavy and the scene will become a little awkward for a while.

I thought for a moment, and then said to Lao Liu: "It's less than thirty days."

After hearing this, Lao Liu nodded in a bit, sighed a long time, and said, "It's so fast..." Then he got up and went to the balcony alone. Looking at his departure back, I felt an inexplicable sadness.

I turned my eyes to my master's wife and asked tentatively: "My master, is this teacher?"

The teacher's wife looked at Lao Liu who was standing on the balcony, sighed lightly, and said, "Your teacher, you will retire after you teach this class."

"Retire...retire?"

The teacher's wife nodded and continued, "Yes, your teacher is not young anymore, it's time to retire."

So that's it. After hearing this news, I also understood Lao Liu's current psychology. I taught all my life and worked hard for students all my life. In the end, when the student met him, it was like a mouse meeting a cat. It was really sad to think about it.

"My teacher's wife, with the teacher's influence in school, recommended students to those companies that come to the school to recruit students..." Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by my teacher's wife.

"Xiaoyun, you should know a lot about what kind of person your teacher is now. If he were willing, he would not be like this." After the teacher's wife said that, she also got up and left.

Only Nie Xinyan and I were left with the entire living room, and the three of me were looking at each other, and I was also in trouble. Although the reason for this situation was Lao Liu, who dared to say that he did something wrong? Not only was he right at all, he did the ultimate that a teacher could do.

Lao Liu has always been strict in his studies. He can hand over the homework he assigned one or two weeks later, he can make mistakes, or even not do it, but he must not copy it. In his opinion, plagiarism is a disrespect for knowledge, which is something he absolutely cannot tolerate. In my memory, there are at least two tricks on the name he posted by Lao Liu because of plagiarism. This may be one of the reasons why he is not favored by students.

Lao Liu was unwilling to recommend students to companies that enroll in the school, which made me very confused. After all, if this is done well, it will be the best of all. The company has obtained available talents, the students have obtained jobs, the school has increased the employment rate, and he has also increased his reputation. I just tried to talk to the teacher's wife, but was interrupted by the teacher's wife. It seems that Lao Liu is really resistant to this matter.

I turned my gaze to my senior sister, hoping to get some information from her. My senior sister also understood what I mean and asked, "Are you confused about why he is very resistant to recommending students?"

I nodded slightly, and my senior sister looked at me, frowned slightly, and her teeth also bit her lip gently. It can be seen that she was very entangled inside.

"Senior sister, if you don't want to say it, forget it." I couldn't help but say.

"It's okay, let's talk to you. Your teacher is willing to bring you to the house to prove that you still value you very much. I think it's necessary to talk to you about this."

When I heard my senior sister say this, I took a look at me with a scrutiny. Nie Xinyan stood up gently and left the living room.

"That was about twenty years ago, and I was only in high school at that time..."

"Senior sister, I'll ask you, are you Guigen this year?"

"Uh... why do you ask this? I'm 38 this year." My senior sister looked at me in surprise, but still told me the answer.

"Uh, it doesn't look like it, I thought you were in your early thirties..." I smiled embarrassedly.

"No wonder your teacher always talks about you. He won't talk about this anymore, let's talk about it."

"Um."

"At that time, your teacher had already become the department head. Think about it, the influence of the department head in his early forties at that time was obvious at that time. Your teacher had a particularly outstanding student, how outstanding was that even people like your teacher praised him. On the eve of graduation, he recommended him to enter a large enterprise, and he did not disappoint your teacher's expectations and quickly gained a foothold. It took only three years to become the head of the technical department." At this point, the senior sister stopped and picked up a glass of water to moisten her throat.

I couldn't help but exclaim: "This senior is really amazing."

The senior sister looked at me and continued, "Yes, it's very awesome. But the subsequent development deviated from the track. First, she misappropriated the company's design funds, and then leaked the company's design plan to her competitors, causing the company to suffer heavy losses. Your teacher was so angry that she asked him to argue with him personally, but he gave your teacher a reply of only one word - money."

"Money? He can reach that position in three years, so he should not be short of money, right?"

"Who knows, maybe he's going too smoothly all the way, maybe it's something else."

"What about him now?"

"Now? The grave grass is two meters long. I committed suicide. It caused a big sensation when I jumped off the building."

Self... suicide? My mind was blank. I stretched out my hand and looked at it. I found that my hands were trembling constantly. So that's it. Lao Liu's heart must have been broken at that time. Maybe Lao Liu felt that it was because of his original recommendation that the student embarked on a path of no return. He should feel very uncomfortable, after all, he is his most proud student...

It took me a long time to come back to my senses. In my opinion, Lao Liu gave up recommending students because of this, but no one could say that he was wrong. No one could bear this kind of thing. It was already rare for anyone not to collapse mentally. People cannot fall twice in the same place, but Lao Liu chose not to take that path again, and naturally he would not fall in the same place.

The student must have gone too smoothly and lost his true heart in this big dye vat of society.

...

Before leaving, Lao Liu finally came over from the balcony and waved at me with a smile. Seeing his smiling face with a little vicissitudes, his eyes felt a little wet, and the wind was a little strong today.

"Hey, Yun Wuxiu, add WeChat and come to play in the future."

When Nie Xinyan and I were about to leave, my senior sister called me, I turned around and smiled at her, and said, "Okay."

...

Shortly after leaving Lao Liu's house, I received a message from my senior sister: "Yun Wuxiu, ten days later will be your teacher's birthday, and it should be the last birthday of his coaching career. Whether he can retire happily depends on yours."

Seeing this, I felt so clear that my head was a little dizzy again. I rubbed my hair with some worries. Nie Xinyan looked curious about the baby and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Here, you can see it yourself." I handed my phone to Nie Xinyan, then stared at the night sky in a daze. The night was dim and the stars were bright. It was obviously a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, but I felt an inexplicable irritability. I don't know if it was because of the previous story or the message from my senior sister just now.

"Hey, Wuxiu, isn't this a good opportunity?"

"What good opportunity?"

"Oh, why are you confused at the critical moment? Teacher Liu has always been worried about his impression among students. You can use this opportunity to mobilize your classmates to celebrate a special birthday for him."

"I think, but who dares? Those guys can't help but go as far as they see Old Liu."

"That's your problem, I believe you can."

After hearing Nie Xinyan's words, I began to think that there must be no problem with time, and that they should be in school at that time. But I had no idea how to convince them.

If it was just our class, I would still be confident, but that would not achieve the ideal result. At least three more teams would need to be mobilized.

First of all, I must discuss this matter with the squad leader Jelly, but who will convince the staff of other squads? Suddenly, a figure appeared in my mind. I subconsciously glanced at Nie Xinyan. If she knew about it, there would probably be a lot of trouble. Besides, I already owe Li Yue enough.

"Xinyan, why did you remember this today?" I changed the subject and I still don't think about this for the time being.

Nie Xinyan looked at me, then pouted and said, "Didn't you come to you if you say I miss you? You forgot what you said so quickly?"

"This? I haven't seen you for most of the time. How can you survive the three years of going abroad?"

"You can make a video call after going abroad. Anyway, if I miss you, I will come to you. If you miss me, just taste the lipstick."

Before I finished speaking, I ran away again... I stomped my feet with hatred. This girl has learned bad things and always used this to make fun of me.
